Putting a Modern Twist on Décor

If you were to pick up any home and garden magazine or walk into any home, you’d immediately be presented with a wide variety of home décor and furnishing styles. One up-and-coming style we don’t see going anywhere anytime soon is the modern farmhouse look.

A spinoff of its traditional counterpart, the modern farmhouse aesthetic includes a functional design, vintage touches and soft color palettes to create a home with character that never feels dated. We decided to turn to the experts at Signature Hardware in the Cincinnati area to learn more.

Adriel Harris of Signature Hardware reports that one of the most distinguishing factors of the modern farmhouse style is texture, as it “plays a large role in the style, whether it be present in things like reclaimed wood, living finishes, or wall materials.”

The most popular items are those that provide the “charm of farmhouse style products,” says Harris. From Signature Hardware, these include the Nellie Bathroom Vanity, the Goodwin Cast Iron Slipper Clawfoot Tub, the Waterson Wall-Mount Bathroom Sink, barn doors, barn door hardware and shelf brackets. And we can’t forget about farmhouse sinks. Signature Hardware has tons to choose from, and Harris says many customers are drawn to them.

Modern farmhouse stands alone from other styles in the sense that it incorporates design aspects from both the past and the present. Harris says, “The combination of functionality and inventive design makes modern farmhouse a great fit for homes wanting to replicate the look in a way that’s current yet true to the heart of where the aesthetic originates.”
